I wouldn't take a modded car to Subaru. A pod filter won't void warranty though if thats what your worried about.

They shouldn't do. Its just when it comes time to claim a new gearbox under warranty, they can blame it on your pod filter... somehow

Better yet, why don't you take your car to get serviced at an authorised subaru repairer who can sign off on your log book aswell. Blue Star Mobile Technician can do just that.

I know someone who did his apprenticeship at a dealership and have heard some shady story's that have come from particular dealers (not Subaru) from recycled oil to cleaning plugs and charging for new ones, they are the good stories.

Not to mention the free carbon cleans you get without asking. "Thrash car around block and perform 6 grand launches!"
